Genital piercings are generally frowned upon by the mass majority and not many would agree to getting one. So this says one thing - genital piercings are for the daring few who want to look and feel different. No matter how much parents and teachers scream, genital piercings are gaining popularity and more so with men. All the daredevils out there who aren't afraid of pain, genital piercings are the perfect way to flaunt your devil-may-care attitude. Here is a peek into the male genital and nipple piercing world. If you dare, let your body do the talking!

Penis peircings

Penis percings or male gential piercings are fast gaining popularity. While they are still very uncommon and only for the truly brave at heart, the fact that they look good and are known to greatly increase stimulation for both partners has made them a much sought after form of body piercing. Although penis percings have been around for a long time, having attractive jewelry for male genital piercings is a very recent thing and that has further increased the popularity of penis peircings.

There are many types of penis percings, the most popular being Prince Albert piercing, frenum piercing and reverse Prince Albert. Here is a detailed look at them:

Prince Albert piercing - The most common, most sensual and definitely the least painful of all the male genital percings, is the Prince Albert piercing. Named for Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert, who allegedly had one. Prince Albert piercings are known to greatly enhance stimulation for both partners. The piercing is made through the underside of the penis just behind the head glans exiting through the urethra. The amount of flesh that is pierced is very small and the healing is very rapid. The jewelry worn is generally a circular barbell, but straight or curved barbells can also be worn.

Frenum piercing - The second most popular type of penis percing is that of the Frenum which is the web of skin between the foreskin and the head of the penis. Again known to increase stimulation, frenum piercings are hassle free and safe. The preferable choice of jewelry is a ring that encircles the head of the penis, much like a cock ring. The procedure and healing of frenum piercings is very quick.

Reverse Prince Albert - A lot less common but much talked about and fast gaining popularity is the anti-thesis of the Prince Albert piercing, appropriately named the reverse Prince Albert. The reverse Prince Albert piercing enters through the urethra and exits through a hole pierced in the top of the glans.

Hafada piercing - Though not technically a penis percing, a hafada piercing can be placed under this category due to its nature which is similar to that of penis piercings. A hafada piercing is a surface piercing located anywhere on the skin of the scrotum. This piercing does not penetrate deep into the scrotum, and due to the looseness and flexibility of the skin in that area, does not migrate or reject as much as many other surface piercings. Hafada piercings are usually pierced with a captive bead ring, a curved barbell or straight barbell and the same are worn.

Male nipple piercing

While we are talking about male piercings, particularly male genital piercings, male nipple piercings deserve a special mention. Rapidly gaining popularity, nipple piercings in men can be traced back to the Karankawa Indians. A nipple piercing is centered usually at the base of the nipple. It can be pierced at any angle but is usually done horizontally or, less often, vertically. It is also possible to place multiple piercings on top of one another. A male nipple piercing typically takes 3-6 months to fully heal.

Nipple jewelry can range from straight barbells to curved barbells and danglers depending upon the wearer's preferences.

Penis piercing and apradavya jewelry

Apradavya jewelry and jewelry for other penis percings, , is available in a wide range of shapes, designs and materials. Straight barbells are the usual jewelry for penis piercings. The barbell must be long enough to accommodate erection, so the penis must be measured while erect before piercing, and an allowance must be made for ballooning of the urethra.

Apradavya jewelry has been nicknamed 'happydravya' for the added pleasure it is said to provide to the wearer and partner.

To sum it all up, while penis percings might be a little too daring and flashy, they are totally hot and in fashion; and the best part is, you decide who gets to see your piercing! So get on that bike, put on your jacket and get a penis percing. As far as apradavya jewelry goes, we will provide you with the best quality.
